I've always used gamespy for my PC game reviews, but it has shut down yesterday.  I've just had a look at IGN and I'm not too impressed.  Can anyone recommend me a PC game review web site?

[Akarym]

metacritic.com is the best for that

[kragathore]

Rock Paper Shotgun is pcool, not really a straight up review site though

[Hyuru]

metacritic is ok, there's not really any sites like rottentomatoe for videogames unfortunately

[Buglamp]

Find a particularl critic you tend to agree with, since most gaming sites are notoriously shit and basically ads for AAA titles I would go for some sort of independent critic or just check social sites like...well reddit seems like a terrible place for non-biased opinions on games so fuck IDK.

Ask here and we'll tell you.

Well I kind of used Gamespy to find out about new games and upcoming games...so I can't really ask here...because I don't know what I want.

I will try metacritic and rock paper shot gun out, thanks for the suggestions.... for the time being I'm still addicted to warcrack anyway

Metacritic gives you a good idea, but sometimes fans rage about games for non-gameplay related issues and they get low scores based on the business practices of the publisher or whatever. Lots of 1s and 10s because of super fanboys and super haters, ideally they'd average themselves out but often they don't.

RPSG seems decent from what I've seen.

I've tried meta critic out and I quite like it... you also get a critics score from PC game journalists... so you can read a few of those and read the general public's opinion.  Thanks for the tip.

Definitely GameStar, I read their reviews since 8 years now and never get disappointed. I always feel like they stay neutral.

I'd recommend League of Legends; don't know if you played it yet? Is very addicting and you can never get tired since it has over 120 different character to unlock and play with. All of them with different abilities and skins.
They have a great auto-regulated gaming community and add new characters like every 2 weeks
Give it a try: http:// signup.leagueoflegends.com/?ref=5064af580f3d8171907371
Although please read a couple of guides first or practice in custom or coop vs ai first so you get a better handle of it

WTF has LOL got to do with the question I asked?

I'm using PC gamer and Meta critic.  Couldn't use Gamestar as I don't read German.
